Here is the list of things that we provide in our phased envelop roof inspection:
A visual inspection is a comprehensive, non-invasive examination of a building's exterior components. It involves a thorough assessment to identify signs of damage, wear and tear, and potential problems. This process typically includes evaluating the condition of the roof, walls, foundation, and other exterior elements for any visible defects or issues that may require maintenance or repair. Specialized tools like drones or infrared cameras may be used to detect hidden issues not visible to the naked eye.
Air leakage testing involves using specialized equipment to detect air leaks and drafts around windows, doors, and other penetrations in the building envelope. This process helps identify areas where air is escaping or entering the building, which can impact energy efficiency and indoor comfort. Testing methods often include whole-building air leakage tests or guarded testing, following standards like ASTM E-3158-18, to measure the air leakage rate under controlled pressure conditions.
Moisture intrusion testing assesses a building's ability to resist water infiltration, particularly around the roof, walls, and foundation. This testing is crucial for identifying potential weaknesses in the building envelope that could lead to water damage or structural issues. Techniques may include visual inspections and probing to detect moisture behind wall claddings, ensuring that the building's envelope is effectively preventing water entry
Thermal performance assessment evaluates a building's insulation and thermal resistance to ensure efficient heating and cooling. This process involves analyzing how well the building envelope retains heat in cold conditions and keeps it out in warm conditions. It helps identify areas where insulation may be inadequate or compromised, allowing for targeted improvements to enhance energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
The report and recommendations phase involves compiling the findings from all inspections into a detailed document. This report outlines any issues identified during the inspections, provides recommendations for repairs or improvements, and serves as a valuable resource for property owners or potential buyers. The report is typically tailored to the specific property and includes actionable steps to address any problems found during the inspection process.

The pre-inspection planning and preparation phase is crucial for a successful phased building envelope inspection. It begins with an initial assessment of the building’s history, including past repairs and maintenance records, to identify potential areas of concern. Interviews with building occupants and maintenance staff are conducted to gather information about any issues or concerns they may have. A detailed plan is then developed outlining the scope of the inspection, including which components will be examined and what tools or equipment will be needed. This planning ensures that the inspection is thorough and efficient, focusing on the most critical areas.
During the visual inspection and data collection phase, a thorough examination of the building envelope is conducted. This includes inspecting roofs, walls, windows, doors, and foundations for signs of damage, wear, or potential issues. Tools like drones or infrared cameras may be used to inspect hard-to-reach areas without the need for scaffolding or cranes. Data is collected on the condition of each component, with photographs taken and detailed notes made to document any findings. This visual inspection provides a baseline understanding of the building’s condition and helps identify areas that may require further investigation through specialized testing.
The specialized testing and analysis phase involves using advanced techniques to evaluate specific aspects of the building envelope. This includes air leakage testing to detect drafts around windows and doors, moisture intrusion testing to assess the building’s resistance to water entry, and thermal performance assessments to evaluate insulation and thermal resistance. These tests help identify hidden issues that may not be visible during a standard visual inspection, such as air leaks or moisture accumulation behind walls. By using specialized equipment and techniques, a more detailed understanding of the building envelope’s performance is obtained, allowing for targeted recommendations for improvement.
The final step involves compiling all findings into a comprehensive report and providing actionable recommendations for repairs or improvements. The report includes photographs and detailed descriptions of any issues identified, along with cost estimates and priority levels for each recommended action. This report serves as a valuable resource for property owners or managers, helping them make informed decisions about maintenance and repairs. Additionally, follow-up services may be offered to ensure that recommended repairs are completed effectively and to verify that the building envelope is functioning as intended after any work is done. This ensures that the building remains safe, energy-efficient, and well-maintained over time.
